The certification of AWS managed services is a comprehensive and rigorous program, with more than 80 audit items and fair third-party audit certification, which reflects the full capabilities of managed service partners.

The word “Cloud” began in 2010. At that time, a group of users had started using the Elastic Compute Cloud (hereafter EC2) such as Amazon Web Services (hereafter referred to as AWS), or cloud services such as Google Gmail. By 2017, most IT industry personnel were already familiar with cloud platforms. Before understanding the concepts of cloud platforms and next-generation hosting services, let’s return to 2010 to learn more about mainstream technologies and status in the IT field at that time.

In 2010, IT is undergoing a phase of technology transfer. VMware, which is headquartered in California, is looking to provide virtualization platforms, technologies, and services for enterprise customers worldwide. Host virtualization is the mainstream of this time. In this wave of virtualization, enterprises enjoy potential advantages. For example, a host with more computing power can create virtual hosts operating on this host through virtualization technology. Enterprises need only one physical server in Taiwan to meet its needs, and the cost of construction and maintenance is greatly reduced due to virtualization technology.

Back in 2017, the virtualization platform still required enterprise users to purchase multiple physical servers and set up and manage these servers on their own. Some companies also chose IDC operators to rent equipment room and equipment to place and manage these physical servers and devices. Companies need to invest a large amount of funds in advance to build a computer room, data center, procurement host, and hire a professional team to manage the maintenance of physical machines. These costs are usually huge investments ranging from hundreds of thousands to tens of millions.

AWS’s EC2 and Simple Storage Service (S3) provide virtualized server and storage space for enterprise users, helping enterprises to avoid the cost of multiple reconstruction costs such as purchasing various types of equipment, space, and managing servers. However, the AWS platform provides more than dozens of new features and services each year. Faced with rapid functional updates, enterprise users are now working with professional cloud service teams. Professional teams are responsible for the operation and management of AWS cloud platforms, and cloud platforms. Professional cloud managed services are born since.
